This mod is made to bring back features from the Legacy Console Edition of the game, produced by 4J Studios (See Legacy Console Edition – Minecraft Wiki for more information).
Features will NOT be identical to Legacy Console, rather, as close of an approximation as possible, with some liberties taken where needed (I.E., where we don't have exact weights for spawn rates of wither skeletons or nether wart).
Currently included features:
- Nether Wart generates naturally in all Nether biomes, but more commonly in Soul Sand Valley(obviously).
- Wither Skeletons spawn naturally in all Nether biomes, except for Warped Forest, with higher rates in Soul Sand Valley.
- Minecarts move 2 times faster.
- Blazes drop 0-2 Glowstone Dust per kill, with additional from Looting.
- After the Music Disc "C418 - cat" stops playing, "C418 - dog" will start playing.
- Enchanted Golden Apples can be crafted with 8 Gold Blocks and an Apple (not exclusive to Legacy Console originally but it was still there when the recipe was removed from Java, so it is a Legacy Console exclusive).
